Search Finding Aids

Finding aids are detailed inventories, registers, indexes, and guides to describe
collections of primary source materials. They provide a comprehensive overview of
a collection's scope and contents. Additionally, they define the conditions under
which a collection may be accessed or copied, explain its provenance, and contain
histories of individuals and organizations connected with the collection.

You should use finding aids to identify which files in a collection will be most useful.
Be sure to record the collection's call number and the file's box number, e.g. MS
001 Box 1, and ask staff in Special Collections to pull the box for you to enjoy in
our reading room.

Like most special collections and archives repositories, we have a backlog of unprocessed
collections that are not described be a finding aid. We do have finding aids for many
of our collections, and we are striving to have all of our finding aids online as
soon as possible.
